Top Tip Number 4

When you are about to spray your latest creation, do you suddenly live in fear of getting the dreaded "creeps".  Well, here is a tip worth noting.  It`s not my idea, but I learned of it many many years ago, and it cures the problem.  Part of the secret is applying you masking tape correctly, by that I mean honing the edge down thoroughly either with some smooth firm object, or even your finger.  Next, before applying your secondary colour,  apply a very light coat of your base colour over the edge of your masking tape. This will seal the edge, and even if some paint creep does occur, it won`t show. Let that dry, then apply your second colour in light coats, and allow to dry.  Then gently peel off your masking tape and you can guarantee a clean paint line.  It works for me every time  and I`m sure it will for you.  Don`t give yourself the creeps.
